\frac{1}{x} = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn

\frac{1}{x} = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn

Solve

\frac{1}{x} = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn : x = \frac{2}{π ( 3 + 4 n )}; n \neq = - \frac{3}{4}

\frac{1}{x} = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn

Multiply both sides by

x

\frac{1}{x} = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn

Multiply both sides by

x

\frac{1}{x} x = \frac{3 π}{2} x + 2 πn x

Simplify

1 = \frac{3 π}{2} x + 2 πn x

1 = \frac{3 π}{2} x + 2 πn x

Switch sides

\frac{3 π}{2} x + 2 πn x = 1

Multiply both sides by

2

\frac{3 π}{2} x + 2 πn x = 1

Multiply both sides by

2

\frac{3 π}{2} x \cdot 2 + 2 πn x \cdot 2 = 1 \cdot 2

Simplify

\frac{3 π}{2} x \cdot 2 + 2 πn x \cdot 2 = 1 \cdot 2

Simplify

\frac{3 π}{2} x \cdot 2 : 3 π x

\frac{3 π}{2} x \cdot 2

Multiply fractions:

a \cdot \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \cdot b}{c}

= \frac{3 \cdot 2 π}{2} x

Cancel the common factor:

2

= x \cdot 3 π

Simplify

2 πn x \cdot 2 : 4 πn x

2 πn x \cdot 2

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= 4 πn x

Simplify

1 \cdot 2 : 2

1 \cdot 2

Multiply the numbers:

1 \cdot 2 = 2

= 2

3 π x + 4 πn x = 2

3 π x + 4 πn x = 2

3 π x + 4 πn x = 2

Factor

3 π x + 4 πn x : π x (3 + 4 n)

3 π x + 4 πn x

Factor out common term

x π

= x π (3 + 4 n)

π x (3 + 4 n) = 2

Divide both sides by

π (3 + 4 n); n \neq = - \frac{3}{4}

π x (3 + 4 n) = 2

Divide both sides by

π (3 + 4 n); n \neq = - \frac{3}{4}

\frac{π x ( 3 + 4 n )}{π ( 3 + 4 n )} = \frac{2}{π ( 3 + 4 n )}; n \neq = - \frac{3}{4}

Simplify

x = \frac{2}{π ( 3 + 4 n )}; n \neq = - \frac{3}{4}

x = \frac{2}{π ( 3 + 4 n )}; n \neq = - \frac{3}{4}

x = \frac{2}{π ( 3 + 4 n )}; n \neq = - \frac{3}{4}
